"We are incredibly excited to work with Genialis on this cutting-edge, precision medicine project. To be able to better understand the patient’s tumor microenvironment phenotype and how it is related to patient benefit represents a key objective for the future success of our company," says Oncologie CEO Laura Benjamin.
Early work between the two companies has thus far focused on modeling gene expression signatures predictive of treatment for gastric cancer. The patent-pending enhanced methodology will further Oncologie’s clinical development plans to expand beyond gastric cancer to other tumor microenvironment phenotypes.
"One of the most encouraging trends in drug development is innovation around integrating and interrogating diverse datasets. Data from historical literature, public population studies, first in human trials, et cetera, can be leveraged to answer significant questions on how to make safe and effective treatments more readily available to patients fighting debilitating and deadly diseases," says Genialis CEO Rafael Rosengarten. "Our work in data science requires a great deal of artistry in addition to technology. And benefits from hand-in-hand collaboration with biology domain experts, which makes this opportunity with Oncologie so special. Right from the start, we knew we shared a vision and a commitment to the process."
This week Genialis will present its work on predictive models for patient stratification at the Precision Medicine World Conference in Santa Clara, CA on January 22.
